CPI
(M) General Secretary Prakash Karat said that CPI(M) and the Left
alone can conduct a credible struggle against the Neo Liberal policies
of Congress and the communal polarisation agenda of the BJP. While
inaugurating the three day state plenum of CPI (M) Kerala state
committee on 27th November at Palakkad, he said that people are fed up with the policies of Congress
led UPA government which caused unprecedented price rise and inflation.
The Congress has lost the confidence to challenge the threat posed by
the BJP.

“We have seen massive high level
corruption in public space and government. The outbreak of such
corruption is not accidental but an inevitable outcome of Neo liberal
regime. The reign of UPA for the last nine and a half years is
associated with high price rise, growing unemployment, massive
corruption. People are looking for an alternate to the bankrupt policies
of Congress” he said.

In the run up to the Lok Sabha
elections, the BJP is projecting itself as the alternative. The class
nature of BJP is no different from that of the Congress. In every area
of economic policy BJP supports Congress, including in the reforms in
banking sector. BJP helped and supported the UPA government to privatise
pension funds. The BJP did not oppose the UPA government decision to
double the price of gas favouring Reliance.

The
BJP led by Narendra Modi was getting unprecedented support from big
corporates and business houses as it had given clear signals that it
would serve their interests better than the Congress-led UPA if voted to
power. This signals that the BJP would be a better servitor of the
corporate than Congress.

Another danger posed by
the Modi-led BJP was that it stood for implementing communal agenda. We
have seen for the last one year all over the country a systematic
communal polarisation for the electoral gain for BJP and Narendra Modi,
he said.

Prior
to the inauguration, Opposition leader and central committee member V
S Achuthanandan hoisted the red flag in EMS Nagar. Politburo member
Kodiyeri Balakrishnan who presided over the inaugural session presented
the martyr resolution and condolence resolution. State Secretary
Pinarayi Vijayan presented the organisational report.

After the inaugural ceremony the organisational report was presented by Communist Party
of India (Marxist) State secretary Pinarayi Vijayan in the party
plenum. It insists on Communist value systems for all
party members by following the Marxian ideology of dialectical
materialism.

The report bars the party members from
working in religious and caste organisations. “They should not become
the office-bearers of religious institutions and worship places,” it
says.

Briefing presspersons on the report presented
in the plenum here on Wednesday, party Polit Bureau member Kodiyeri
Balakrishnan said the party members holding positions in religious and
caste organisations should quit them if they wanted to continue in the
party. The members should fight against superstitions and other
unscientific customs and practices, he said.

The
report aims at a qualitative change in the membership of the party in
the State. “Party leaders and members are now convinced that the era of
factionalism has ended in the party. Now, everyone has to follow the
party decisions and implement them. All those who left the party in the
name of factionalism and difference of opinion will have to be brought
back if they have not already become the enemies of the party,” Mr.
Balakrishnan said.

He said the organisational report
chalked out a plan of action to bring more members of minorities into
the party fold. The party would take up issues affecting the religious
minorities. Despite Malappuram district having four Ministers in the
State government, the district continued to be very backward.

The
party, Mr. Balakrishnan said, would strive to bring more members from
the fishermen community, the Scheduled Castes, and the Scheduled Tribes
into the party.

The report said the party members
should follow the high standards of Communist values and become examples
for society. They should also have high moral values. The
report said a small section of party members were found to be in the
habit of drinking. They should stop if they wanted to continue as
members as drinking had become a major social disease in the State. He
said the party leaders and members should not maintain any links with
people in the real estate business, the blade mafia, and other types of
business that bring a bad reputation to the party and its members. The party members should give details of their assets to the party every year.
